    First, this is nothing like the console or PC version of this game. This plays more like a strange hybrid of the older titles and Vegas. Control-wise, it’s pretty typical for the PSP: the analog stick moves the player, the face buttons are used to look, the left trigger locks on to your opponent (the face buttons can be used to change the position of the lock, such as aiming at the head orFirst, this is nothing like the console or PC version of this game. This plays more like a strange hybrid of the older titles and Vegas. Control-wise, it’s pretty typical for the PSP: the analog stick moves the player, the face buttons are used to look, the left trigger locks on to your opponent (the face buttons can be used to change the position of the lock, such as aiming at the head or chest), right trigger fires and D-Pad handles auxiliary functions such as interacting with the environment or switching/reloading weapons. Gameplay-wise, it’s a relatively slow game. Most of it is spend indoors: it feels a bit like the older Rainbow Sixes, but less refined. It’s difficult, but not unplayably so; the main issue is the AI, which is not smart. Enemies will often stand still and shoot; they either will or won’t notice the player. It really does harm the game, because they aren’t fun to fight. The story feels like an afterthought; honestly it’s pretty forgettable. In the end, it’s a functional FPS for the PSP; it’s pretty mediocre, and I’d personally recommend Coded Arms or Medal of Honor: Heroes over it. It’s fine for the system, but there are far better choices.… Expand

    Over complicated and visually lacklustre - this is a disappointing outing for Rainbow Six. Stick with "Medal of Honor Heroes." [Jan 2007, p.76]

    A well-implemented control system and great sense of tension make this a joy to play. [Jan 2007, p.50]

    A bland, ugly and dreary game - which goes against everything you're used to after playing the series on PS2. There's a certain compulsive quality to sniping but after a couple of levels, you'll develop a strange sense of deja vu and wish you were playing a better shooter.
